The Butler head coach, entering his second year at the helm, welcomed his fourth commitment since April in Cincinnati Moeller junior Nate Fowler.

Fowler, a 6-foot-10 (with shoes) 250-pound center, verbally committed to the Bulldogs on Tuesday night, a source told The Star.

Thought he won't wear a Butler uniform until the 2015-16 season, Fowler addresses a noticeable need for the Bulldogs: Size. A three-star recruit, Fowler was the top-rated center in the state of Ohio according to Rivals.com, and will join a young frontcourt alongside Andrew Chrabascz, Jackson Davis and Tyler Wideman that the Bulldogs hope will be well-equipped to compete in the rugged Big East for seasons to come.

Fowler, who has visited the Butler campus several times over the past two seasons, was also receiving interest from Dayton, Michigan, Miami (FL) and West Virginia.

The commitment also continues the strong spring for Miller, who has filled in his roster nicely after the departure of five players to transfer. Fowler joins North Carolina State transfer Tyler Lewis (who will sit out a year), former Indiana guard Austin Etherington (who can play immediately) and incoming freshman Jackson Davis, who signed with Butler last month.
